Youth Programs
We offer a wide range of youth programs that cater to students from kindergarten to high school. Our programs are designed to be inclusive and accessible to all students.
School’s Out is a day camp program for children in elementary school (kindergarten - 5th grade). It is offered on selected days that Columbia Public Schools and surrounding school districts are closed for Teacher Work Days. During our School's Out Camp, participating students complete different art projects in various media. In-between project blocks, campers have time to play both indoor and outdoor games and enjoy snacks.
School's Out
Our Spring Break Camp runs very similarly to our School's Out program and Summer Camp offerings. The Elementary Camp meets from 8 am - 5 pm, throughout each day, children learn about various art media and complete several art projects. Between project blocks, students have time to play both indoor and outdoor games and enjoy snacks. This program is for students currently in kindergarten through 5th grade.
Spring Break Camp
Our Saturday Art Club meets for 2 hours each week for 6 weeks for kids in grades K-12. We typically offer programs in clay, fibers, and other media, and the class fee includes all materials and instruction. Students complete a series of projects that get them acquainted with a variety of media, and at the end of the class get to bring lots of their fun, completed projects home! Find specifics at the link below to see if Saturday Art Club is right for you.
Weekly Youth Classes
Our ARTastic Summer Camp is for students of all ages! We offer a week-long day camp program for children in elementary school (going into 1st -6 th grade in the fall). Throughout the day (8 am - 5 pm, with early drop-off and late pick-up available), students complete a range of projects in a variety of art media. We also have half-day options, which can be great for adaptive students who would benefit from a shorter day. We also offer media-specific programming for Middle and High School students.
Elementary Summer Camp
Our ARTastic Summer Camp is for students of all ages! We offer week-long half- and full-day camp programs for middle and high school students. These camps focus on a particular medium (2D, fibers, or clay), and throughout the week students learn all about the medium and complete a variety of projects. We also offer full-day, multimedia camp programming for Elementary School students.
Secondary Summer Camp
We strive to offer a large number and a wide range of workshops throughout the year. We regularly have both youth and adult workshops in ceramics and fibers. Occasionally, we offer "family-style" workshops intended for both parents and children to participate in together.
